Even though she was seven years older than him he look older because he was already standing 6 feet to her 5'4 height . I'm not going he said. What? Stop playing I have to be at work at 9:15 I don't have time for your games. Jia been taking care of Jacob since they was young they mother left when jia was 8 they had to move with their granny in the garden projects she look after them the best she could she died two years ago since Jia was the oldest and was on her low income they gave it to her when her granny passed. So she's been the mother figure for Jacob. This Jacob last year in high school and just like any other teen boy Jacob wants to be In trues and robins and Jordan's but Jia can't afford that but she tries her best to keep him in nike shoes and Levi's but that ain't good enough for cool ass Jacob .  U expect me to go to school with this same ones that I've been rocking for three weeks,Day day on his 60th pair of shoe even though the school year almost over . Jacob what did I tell u Jia said looking at him. We can't afford to keep up with the jones okay I'm trying my best regardless school ain't about fashion it's about education your on the honor roll I bet u cool as day day ain't I heard he gonna be a demo with his cool ass so get your ass up and let's go and I get paid today I will buy u some whites ones.  Jacob slowly got up and grab his Kevin Durrant book bag. Here's 20 just cause Jia said giving it to him. She kiss his face. Look I know u think u grown because this your last year and I know it might seem like I'm treating u like a baby but I'm not u are literally my world all I want is the best for you . I know Jia but I'm not the same lil boy anymore u got to let me grow up in this cold world I can handle myself Jacob told her . They both left out the house she lock it up. It wasn't even 9:00 yet and  people was already outside playing music, being loud, smoking and etc. I can't wait to leave this shit hold Jia thought to herself. Have a good day at school she hugged him tight . Ight Jacob said walking to the bus stop. I love you she said. Yeah I love you too he said . She waited until his bus came once seeing he was safe on the bus she caught her bus. Some days she felt like giving up she was struggling with trying to take care of her,a teenager, pay her phone bill, light bill and cable bill. Plus her check was only 500 every two weeks and she had to keep her hygiene items up to date and Jacob hygiene items and house cleaning stuff it was hard thank god the rent was only 70 dollars.  It's going to be  long hot ass day working at red lobster she thought her self. The bus ride was only 20 minutes she got off the bus and walk into work.
